childhood friends have two little guesses from Li Bai's poem "Long March".
1. The original text of Long March is:
my hair had hardly covered my forehead, I was picking flowers, paying by my door. When you, my lover, on a bamboo horse, came trotting in circles and throwing green plums. We lived near together on a lane in Ch'ang-kan, both of us young and happy-hearted. At fourteen I became your wife, so bashful that I dared not smile. And I lowered my head toward a dark corner, and would not turn to your thousand calls. But at fifteen I straightened my brows and laughed, learning that no dust could ever seal our love. That even unto death I would await you by my post, and would never lose heart in the tower of silent watching. Then when I was sixteen, you left on a long journey, Qutang Dui _ dui.
and then came the Fifth-month, more than I could bear, the ape cries in the sky. Your footprints by our door, where I had watched you go, were hidden, every one of them, under green moss. Hidden under moss too deep to sweep away, and the first autumn wind added fallen leaves. August Butterfly Yellow, hover, two by two, in our west-garden grasses. And, because of all this, my heart is breaking, and I fear for my bright cheeks, lest they fade! Oh, at last, when you return through the three Pa districts, send me a message home ahead!. And I will come and meet you and will never mind the distance, all the way to Chang-feng Sha.
second, appreciation: the poems show vivid and vivid pictures in front of readers through vivid and concrete descriptions of the various life stages of merchant women. Through the use of images, the poet makes a typical generalization. The first six sentences are like a group of folk children's playful amorous feelings. In the following poems, the parting sadness of young women in boudoir is described with strong pen and ink, and the poetic sentiment has formed a distinct turning point here.
The detailed description of this poem is outstanding. For example, the following lines of "my hair had hardly covered my forehead" write innocent game actions of boys and girls, which are lively and lovely. "Childhood friends" has become an idiom still in use today. Another example is "and I lowered my head toward a dark corner, and would not turn to your thousand calls", which describes the shyness of women when they first get married, which is very delicate and true. The poet shows the deep emotional activities of the inner world of the thinking woman through specific scenery descriptions.
